Public Execution at Ijebu-Ode of Noah Odesanya


 Public Execution at Ijebu-Ode of Noah Odesanya, an ex-soldier who robbed and killed over 4 passengers on Ijebu- Lagos Road.


Date:  April 1973


Right after the civil war, Armed and highway robbery was then a novelty in Nigeria. The country had just exited a 30-month civil war and arms and ammunition were available to those who wanted to buy for underworld activities.


 There was a thriving black market where criminals could get weapons to buy. The pattern of crimes especially stealing pick-pocketing and burglary had changed as hoodlums armed themselves to frighten and if need be kill their victims. 


The military government deemed it fit to introduce the capital punishment as a way of curbing the increase in armed robbery cases in the country then.
